How would you set up your fans with this setup?

minimalist

I’m getting a NZXT H500i case which has 1 fan at the top, 1 at the back, and 3 in the front. 

 

For the cpu cooler I’m getting a NZXT Kraken x62.  Right now I’m leaning toward this for my graphics card https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=11G-P4-2384-KR

 

The NZXT Kraken will definitely have to go in the front.  Would you put the fan for the 2080ti in the front as well if it fits or put it up top?  

 

I plan on leaving the 1 rear fan as basically exhaust to blow all of the hot air out.

The big question is will it fit?  That makes the most sense so I’ll go that route first.  Thanks for the input.

by the size of the card it's always going to be a tight unless your case is massive as its rtx
